      china also is unfortunately surrounded by american military bases/naval forces, and must wait until :xi-god-emperor: pushes the communism button before it can seize the means of optimal democratically centralized OS design

        Disclaimer: I don't know a whole lot about it. But basically, Deepin is a Linux distrobution based on Debian, just like how Ubuntu is based on Debian. It's userbase is primary Chinese, and there's currently an effort by the PRC to replace foreign software with domestic alternatives, in which Deepin is a part. I've only read a few short articles about it but it seems like China is trying to gradually move users over to Linux.

        Here's a few links that will probably tell you more than I can:
